Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has shared details of what appears to be her first deliverance session weeks after graduating from a discipleship class at Streams of Joy International.

The actress recently announced that she completed discipleship training at the church led by Jerry Eze. In February, she posted a video on Instagram showing her certificate and spoke about what she described as a spiritual transformation that has changed her life, faith, and sense of service.

On Monday, the 40 year old actress also said she would no longer use the name King Tonto. She explained that the decision came after what she described as guidance from the Holy Spirit.

“It gladdens my heart that I can do this on the first day of March; it just aligns with the prophecy of God upon my life that He’s marching me away from everything that is old and into the prophecies that are new every morning,” she said.

A glimpse of the ministry

In another Instagram post, the actress shared a story from a school evangelism outreach where she said she prayed for a teenage girl who was experiencing what she described as a spiritual attack.

According to Dikeh, the moment happened shortly after she and her team finished their outreach activities at the school.

“I was delivered from the marine world so that I may become an instrument in His hands to deliver others.

“As we were driving out after our evangelism at the school today, I suddenly sensed a spirit of death hovering around the environment. I immediately shared this with my team, and we began to pray. In less than two minutes, a young girl ran up to me and asked me to pray for her. Her friends encouraged her to speak, and she shared that she had been seeing bats appearing around her repeatedly,” she wrote on Instagram.

“Death confronted”

The actress said that while they prayed, the Holy Spirit took over and the atmosphere changed.

“The spirit of death was confronted, the demonic attack was broken, and God’s power brought deliverance. To the glory of God, she was also one of the students who had given their lives to Christ earlier, making the work of God even more powerful and timely. My team and I will be following up with her as the Lord continues His work in her life,” she added.

She shared videos from the moment online. In the clips, Dikeh is seen praying for the schoolgirl, who was wearing a public school uniform. During the prayers, the girl appeared to go into a trance and members of the actress’ team held her while the prayers continued.

“All we can say is: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for everything You did today.

Over 100 young champions gave their lives to Christ. God is reclaiming what belongs to Him, ‘THE WORLD’,” she wrote.

Possible legal concerns

While many followers congratulated the actress and praised her spiritual journey, some observers have raised questions about the legal issues connected to recording and sharing videos of minors.

Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria protects individuals, including children, from unauthorised recording.

In addition, Section 8 of the Child Rights Act guarantees a child’s right to privacy, including in digital spaces.

Legal experts say that recording or sharing a child’s image or video without parental consent, especially when it may affect their safety or reputation, could also raise concerns under the Cybercrimes Act 2015.

Tonto Dikeh’s recent posts highlight a new chapter in her life as she focuses more on faith and ministry activities. As her spiritual journey continues, her public role in religious outreach is drawing both support and discussion online, especially around issues of privacy and child protection.
